I have noticed during the recent hot weather that the temperature gauge has been quite quick to get to working temp (no surprise) but I was wondering if it was worth fitting additional electric fans to the front of the radiator?

There is an additional electric fan used for the air con. If the engine coolant temperature increases too much then the electric fan will also step up a speed. It's why the viscous fan can often be ditched in cooler climates with no issues.

As well as the points above, it's important to maintain a good cooling system rather than fiddle with it by adding fans (Not even sure where one would cram them?)
